Instrument-Matched Engineering
Enclosures sized to your Microlab platform and built around the surrounding equipment.
Product, Operator, and/or Environmental Protection
Positive airflow protects the product; negative airflow protects the operator and environment.
UV and Metal Construction Options
UV and non-UV, metal and non-metal bonnet builds for application-specific requirements.
Class I / II Enclosures
Custom walk-in enclosures engineered to support Class I, Class II A1/A2, or B1/B2 applications.
Digital Control Panel or Rocker Switch Controls
Digital control panel or rocker switch controls available on VANTAGE bonnets.
Find the Right DFMZ Solution for Your Hamilton Equipment
Select your instrument, then choose the airflow priority for your application where options apply. The finder pulls the matching bonnet and enclosure recommendation straight from DFMZ engineering's Hamilton compatibility review.
Positive airflow protects the product. Negative airflow protects the operator and environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about DFMZ solutions for Hamilton platforms.
Yes. DFMZ engineers walk-in enclosures, and bonnets for the Microlab VANTAGE, to the exact footprint and airflow requirements of Hamilton platforms, including the Microlab STAR, STAR V, VANTAGE, Prep, and NIMBUS.
It depends on your instrument and your priority. The Microlab VANTAGE is available with a bonnet: positive bonnets protect the product, while negative bonnets protect the operator and environment. The Microlab STAR, STAR V, Prep, and NIMBUS are served with a custom walk-in enclosure. Use the solution finder above to confirm the recommended configuration for your instrument.
A Positive Airflow Bonnet supplies HEPA-filtered air across the deck to protect the product or sample, which is a product protection strategy. A Negative Airflow Bonnet draws air away from the operator and exhausts it, which protects personnel and the surrounding environment.
Yes. Every DFMZ bonnet and enclosure is engineered to instrument dimensions, airflow specification, and facility constraints rather than sold as a fixed catalogue unit. Walk-in enclosures can be customized to meet your process requirements and can accommodate the other surrounding equipment.
DFMZ walk-in enclosures for Hamilton platforms are engineered to support Class I, Class II A1/A2, and Class II B1/B2 applications, depending on the process requirements around the instrument.
Yes. DFMZ offers on-site installation, integration, and airflow verification for Hamilton enclosures and bonnets, from site assessment through operator handover.
